MAKE THE MOST OF THE GUIDES

• Use the Guides with all women during check-up visits

• Use the Guide as an opportunity to talk to your patients about healthy behaviors

Speaker Notes:

Here are suggestions for making the most of the Guides:

• Distribute the Guides to all women, regardless of body weight and size. Everyone can benefit from improving physical activity and healthy eating behaviors

• Use the Guides during longer check-up visits that have a preventative focus, rather than sick visits

• Highlight the Guides as a value-added benefit for patients. In other words, let the patients know that they will be getting something special during their annual visit

• Use the Guides as an opportunity to talk to your patients about healthy behaviors. This can enhance your patient-provider relationships
